BOOK REVIEW
Introduce
the book :
“introducing semantics” by Nick Riemer.
Semantics is the study of meaning
in language. This clear and comprehensive textbook is the most up-to-date
introduction to the subject available for undergraduate students. It not only
equips students with the concepts they need in order to understand the main
aspects of semantics, it also introduces the styles of reasoning and argument
which characterize the field. It contains more than 200 exercises and
discussion questions designed to test and deepen readers’ understanding.
More inclusive than other textbooks, it
clearly explains and contrasts different theoretical approaches, summarizes
current debates, and provides helpful suggestions for further reading. Examples
are drawn both from major world languages, such as Mandarin Chinese, Japanese,
Arabic, Spanish and English, and from minority ones. The book also highlights
the connections between semantics and the wider study of human language in
psychology, anthropology and linguistics itself.
